Bollywood art director Nitin Desai is designing the stage for Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray’s swearing-in on Thursday evening at Mumbai’s famous Shivaji Park.
Thackeray, 59, will be sworn in as the chief minister in an evening ceremony at the sprawling Shivaji Park, where his father and Sena founder Bal Thackeray addressed his famous Dussehra rallies.
Around a lakh people are expected to throng the venue this evening, and the police have made elaborate security arrangements in view of the same.
